<DT><B>Description</B><DD>
getviewsettings fills the viewporttype structure pointed to by viewport with information about the current viewport.
<P>
The viewporttype structure used by getviewport is defined in graphics.h as follows:
<PRE>
struct viewporttype {
   int left, top, right, bottom;
   int clip;
};
</PRE>

<P><DT><B>Return Value</B><DD>
None.
